The best time to purchase travel insurance is right after you put money down towards your trip. Some policies include time sensitive benefits which are but not limited to pre-existing condition waiver, financial default, Cancel For Any Reason and Cancel For Work Reasons. Most plans require that you purchase a policy within 10 - 30 days of your initial trip payment, and insure all prepaid non refundable trip costs to receive these time sensitive benefits.

Fortunately I did not have to use the insurance but it was nice to know that it was there, just in case. The overall process for selecting a plan was straightforward. The most difficult step was selecting from multiple vendors whose plans were very similar. The comparison tool helped identify the differences.

I could never have made my decision and purchase without the help of your customer care representative. The choices are too overwhelming and time consuming to review. With a few specific questions, the representative suggested a plan for me and told me of the extra benefits this one had compared to others. I felt confident that if I needed something, I would have coverage. The representative was just awesome. I would use you again. Thanks!

Trip insurance brings a peace of mind to those of us with elderly parents, a sick spouse, or just some unexpected event like weather that can shorten or cancel vacation plans. The trick is finding just the right insurance for your needs - not too much - not too little. Insure Assist did the job and I am happy to report I never needed to file a claim.

We were happy we did not have to use the plan. We did make sure that our plan would make sure we could receive medical care /hospitalizations without having to go to an ATM machine to get cash first before care. This issue is very important when traveling outside the USA. We know of too many emergency cases outside USA that happened and we're not able to be admitted to a hospital because of not having cash. I chose Allianz Global Assistance Classic plan for that reason.

Travel insurance isn't something you expect to review -- you buy it, you hope nothing goes wrong, then you come home and forget about it. If, something goes wrong and you need to make a claim, however, you expect the worst in paperwork and hassle. Unfortunately, we had to make that claim, but surprisingly, the experience was very quick and easy.

We were traveling with a 1 year old who got a high fever just after we got to Paris -- we thought we would go to the ER just to get checked out, maybe a prescription for some fever reducer and be on our way. Well, our 7pm visit turned into an all-night nightmare and 2-night hospital stay (another story for the hospital review!).

At 4am, when it became apparent that she was going to be admitted, I called the claims number from my mobile phone. Thankfully, the call was quick and easy. The representative took down some basic info and was very flexible when we didn't have some info like the hospital address or fax numbers. He gave us a fax number where the hospital could submit paperwork and that was basically it -- I asked if there was anything else we needed to do to get pre approval, and he said we had already fulfilled our responsibility in notifying them. Great! When it came time to visit the hospital billing department, they had local numbers in France with French speaking representatives -- this was a big help and big relief for us as it meant that all the details could be worked out directly between the hospital and insurance company. (The only complaint here was that the hospital staff got put on hold for several minutes waiting for a representative, with people waiting behind us, I thought she was going to give up.) With that exchange of info, we were done! I haven't heard from the hospital or insurance company since -- and that's the way you want it!

While I hope no one has to have their holiday ruined by similar circumstances, at least based on this one experience of mine, you can know that this company came through when we needed them, provided great service, and did exactly what an insurance company should do in exchange for all the times that we pay them and nothing goes wrong.

And by the way, if you are traveling with a baby, I highly recommend getting travel medical coverage -- it's so easy for small kids to get sick and you need that peace of mind that you can go see a doctor if you need to and not worry about costs. Maybe you don't need a million dollars in coverage, but go with the lowest deductible that you can afford.
